Hi Charles and all. Speaking for myself I agree. I preordered Monty and I would definitely rather see Thomas continue work on it so we will eventually get it than to get my 40 bucks or whatever back. That was extra money I had put aside and I have no problem with it going to help Thomas continue these projects provided of course that our preorders stand, which is what he indicated. Really, who ends up with the money from the preorders is none of our business, that is between Thomas and James.
In any event I wish Thomas the best of luck with this and commend him for being willing to take on these projects.

Sheesh. As far as refunds are concerned, keep in mind that I will bo one of those who would rather have the games than the money. I have ordered Max, raceway, and Monty. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006 12:19 AM Subject: Re: audyssey: The future of Alchemy's games > Hi, Charles. > In a way everyones preorders actually were the lifeline that made it > possible to save said games from hitting the scrap can.
